The research tasks will include an adaptation of the method of Lathrop et al. (Analytical Biochemistry, 2007) for the screening of potential ligands, verification and characterization of ligands by means of Biacore and ELISA techniques and eventually the establishment of a suitable affinity chromatographic procedure.
The ideal candidate should have a background in biotechnology, bioengineering or biochemistry with profound knowledge of bioanalytical assays, interaction analysis (ELISA, BIACORE) and a basic knowledge in chromatography.
Fluent English and good communication skills are required to be successful in the multidisciplinary and international environment of the project group.
The Max-Planck-Institute and the Otto-von-Guericke University provide excellent working conditions and a stimulating scientific atmosphere.
Women are explicitly encouraged to apply for the described positions. Disabled people will be favoured in the case of identical competence and performance.
